Can't get enough of these pouches

| | Comments (2)

I was listening to the always inspirational Amy Karol's podcast the other night. Amy talked about how her daughter drew on fabric and she used the fabric as part of a dress. What a great idea!! I noticed that the pattern she used is from the same book I've been using (such a wonderful book).

So I got out some white linen I had washed and wasn't sure what to do with and let Kumi go to town:

Isn't that amazing? That's the work of a 21-month-old. I didn't help her or direct her in any way!

And because I had so much fun making those pouches, I went ahead and made these into cute little pouches too. I was able to make three total.

Here's one with the lining:

And then all three from the front view:

And the other side:

Sorry for the photos -- the natural lighting has been pretty bad today. The pouches in the last photo are looking particularly scrunched because Kumi kept poking her fingers into them while I tried to get a decent shot. You get the idea though. I love these!!

Great pouches! There's a lady out there... Alisa Burke. She makes the wallets out of canvas, which might be sturdier. http://www.alisaburke.com/

I wish I had time to do all the fun art stuff you are doing!
